Cotton Conquest

Hi Folks
Netbikes has a pic of a Cotton Conquest on its Cafe Racer Page & a write up in the Road Tests Section. Two were built, the Cotton Owners Club know where one is, the BIG question, does anybody know if the road test machine, EFH 565C, is still in existence. We believe it was sold to an Australian serviceman by the name of McDonald serving in Singapore in about 1970/71. Any help or thoughts on locating the bike or info would be much appreciated.
Regards to all,
Mick.

Re: Cotton Conquest

wow Mick, I did not realise they were so rare, only ever 2 made ?.

I have no idea where the test bike is nor did I know it may have come to Australia. I would love to build one though.

Any chance of getting pics of the other one?

cheers.chris

Re: Cotton Conquest

Hi Chris,
We think the factory built 3 production racers, 2 we know of & EFH is 'missing'. There are a couple of replica's in the world. If you want to build one there is one 5 gallon tank available & the rest of the bike is based on the Telstar racer.I am not aware of any photos of the other one, though all 3 were identical. Apologies for the delay but I was hoping to get more info before replying, unfortunately without success.
Regards,
Mick.
